i. Once upon a time Uncle Wiggily met Baby Bunty on her skates. 
“Oh, Uncle Wiggily!” laughed the little rabbit girl, “why don’t you get 
a pair and come roller skating with me ? ” The bunny sort of twinkled 
his pink nose doubtful like. “Do you think an old rabbit like me could 
skate?” he asked. “Of course you could! I’ll teach you if you’ve 
forgotten!” kindly offered Baby Bunty. “All right,” said Mr. Longears. 








2. Uncle Wiggily, in his heart, felt that something dreadful would 
happen. But he did not like to disappoint Baby Bunty, so he bought 
himself a pair of roller skates and began. “This is how you do it!” 
called back the cute little rabbit girl, as she started boldly off, for she 
was a good skater. “Ye-ye-yes, my de-de-dear! I—I see how you 
do it,” stammered Uncle Wiggily. “But it isn’t so-so-so easy!” 

















3. All went well for a while, though Uncle Wiggily, of course, could 
not skate as fast as Baby Bunty. All of a sudden one of the bunny’s 
paws shot out from under him. “Oh, Baby Bunty! Look!” he cried. 
“Uncle Wiggily! Stop that!” scolded Bunty. “You shouldn’t try any 
fancy tricks before you learn to skate straight!” Mr. Longears 
twinkled his nose. “Trick!” he cried. “I couldn’t help doing this!” 




















4 . After some hard work Uncle Wiggily managed to get his elevated 
leg back on the ground where it belonged, and he started off once 
more. But he tried to go too fast and, all of a sudden he turned a 
peppersault in the air. “Oh, Uncle Wiggily! Why do you keep on 
doing those tricks?” cried Baby Bunty. “I—I'm not doing them on 
purpose!” said the poor bunny. “They just—just—seem to happen!” 






















5. Well, after a while, Uncle Wiggily landed right side up with care, 
and he and Baby Bunty skated off once more. But, all of a sudden, 
they reached the top of a hill, and, before he knew what was going on, 
Uncle Wiggily started to glide down. “Oh! Oh!” he cried. “Look 
out!” shouted Baby Bunty. “See the puddle!” “1 see it!” shouted 
Uncle Wiggily, “and I don’t like the looks of it, either! Wow!” 











6. Nearer and nearer rolled the bunny gentleman to the puddle. 
Just as he seeme'd about to plop in, he gave a great jump, as Jack did 
over the candle stick, and right across sailed Uncle Wiggily. “Good! 
Good!” cried Baby Bunty, who caught hold of a tree to save herself 
from skating into the water. “That was good, Uncle Wiggily!” 
“It was not so bad for an old chap!” chuckled the bunny gentleman. 















7. Down came Uncle Wiggily, “ker-plunk!” on the far side of the 
mud puddle. He thought everything was going to be fine, and that 
now he could skate with Baby Bunty. But, all of a sudden, his legs 
began to spread apart, farther and farther. “Oh! Oh! Oh!!” he cried. 
Baby Bunty, who had skated around the puddle, came hurrying up. 
“Oh, what is the matter now?” asked Baby Bunty. It was dreadful) 













8. “Wait a minute! I’ll help you, Uncle Wiggily!” called Baby 
Bunty. She began to push on one of the spread-apart legs of the 
bunny. “You pull on your other leg, Uncle Wiggily,” advised Baby 
Bunty. The rabbit tried, but it was no use. “Oh, if we only had some 
one to help!” he sighed. “I’ll help you!” offered a voice. “Who was 
that?” asked Baby Bunty. “Oh, the Alligator!” cried Uncle Wiggily. 














9. All of a sudden, as soon as he knew the Alligator was there, 
Uncle Wiggily’s legs seemed to pull together. “I’m all right now, 
Bunty!” he cried. “Come on, I’ll skate as 1 haven’t skated since I was 
a boy rabbit!” And Mr. Longears did just that. He and Baby Bunty 
glided so fast that, run as he did, the Skillery Scallery Alligator could 
not get them. “Ha! Ha!” laughed the bunny, “who says I can’f skate!” 












And if the gold fish doesn’t try to flip out ot its bowl and go to sleep in the 
canary bird’s cage, the next pictures and story 
will tell how 



THE FOX AND WOLF, BOTH BAD CHAPS THEY, TRIED 
HARD UNCLE WIGGILY TO CATCH ONE DAY. BUT SNOW BALLS 
AT THEM FLEW SO FAST, THEY BOTH DID RUN AWAY AT LAST. 







1 . Once upon a time Uncle Wiggily was out walking wearing his 
tall silk hat, for he had been to a reception given by Mrs. Twistytail, 
the pig lady. Then, all of a sudden, when Uncle Wiggily was nearly 
at his hollow stump bungalow, the Fox threw a snowball, knocking off 
the hat. “Ha! Fla!” laughed the Wolf. “That’s funny!” Uncle Wig¬ 
gily could see nothing very funny about it. “Guess I’ll run,” he said. 






















2. Uncle Wiggily guessed what sort of a trick the Fox and Wolf were 
trying to play on him. “They thought I’d stop and pick up my hat,” 
said the bunny to himself, “and then they could catch me and nibble 
my ears. But I’d rather lose my hat than my ears!” So away he ran 
without his hat. Out jumped the Fox and Wolf. One of them picked 
up the hat and chased after Uncle Wiggily with it, crying: “Wait!” 









3. Uncle Wiggily ran so fast without his hat that soon he left the 
Fox and Wolf behind. “Well, our trick didn’t work,” said the Fox. 
“No,” agreed the Wolf, “but I know another trick we can play.” The 
Fox wanted to know what it was. “We’ll do this',” growled the Wolf. 
“We’ll sneak up and leave Uncle Wiggily’s hat near his bungalow. 
Then we’ll hide, and when he comes out to get it, we’ll grab him!” 




















4. Uncle Wiggily ran on as. fast as he could, without his hat, until 
he reached his hollow stump bungalow. Near it he saw some of the 
animal boys having a snowball fight. “Oh, this gives me an idea 
for playing a trick on the Fox and Wolf,” said the bunny. Just then 
up rushed Floppy Twistytail, the piggie boy. He had heard what the 
Fox and Wolf said about coming to the bungalow and Floppy told all. 

























5. “You say the Fox and Wolf are coming to put my hat on the 
ground near my bungalow, and will grab me when I go to get it; is that 
it, Floppy ? ” asked the bunny. “That’s it,’’ said the piggie boy. “Ah, 
now for a snowball fight!” cried Uncle Wiggily to the animal boys. 
“Make all the hard balls you can,” he told them. “Hide around the 
corner of my bungalow, and we’ll wait for the Fox and Wolf to come.” 


















6. Along came the Fox and Wolf, not knowing what was going to 
happen to them. Around the corner of the bungalow Uncle Wiggily 
and the animal boys watched. “We’ll leave the hat on the snow,” said 
the Fox to the Wolf. “1 guess Uncle Wiggily is in there now. Then 
we’ll hide behind the stump and wait for him to come out to get his 
hat.” The Wolf said that would be a good plan', so that’s what they did. 

































7. “Now, boys, be on the watch!” whispered Uncle Wiggily to the 
animal chaps with their hard snowballs. “I’m going out now to get my 
hat. When the Fox and Wolf rush at me—well, you know what to 
do!” The animal boys chuckled with glee. “Yes, we know what to do, 
all right, Uncle Wiggily!” His pink nose twinkling at what was 
going to happen, Uncle Wiggily stepped bravely toward his hat. 


































8. All of a sudden, just as Uncle Wiggily reached down and picked 
up his hat—all of a sudden, out rushed the Fox and Wolf from behind 
the stump. “Now we’ll get him!” howled the Wolf. “Let them have 
the snowballs, fellows!” cried the piggie boy. And they threw the hard 
chunks of snow and ice in the faces of the Fox and Wolf. “Oh wow! 
What is this?” barked the Fox as he felt a snowball hit him on his ear. 
























9. “Give it to them, boys! Give it to them!” cried Uncle Wiggily. 
The bunny rabbit put his hat down over his ears so it wouldn’t fall 
off and then he, too, joined in the snowball fight. “I thought you said 
we could easily get Uncle Wiggily!” howled the Wolf to the Fox. 
“Well, I thought we could!” cried the Fox. “Oh, wow, but what a 
mistake we made. Never again will I throw at Uncle Wiggily’s hat!” 











And if the hammer doesn’t try to play croquet with a snowball and catch cold 
in its head, the next pictures and story 
will tell how 



UNCLE WIGGILY TOOK THE SCARE' 

CROW, JUST TO PLAY A LITTLE TRICK. THE BAD OLD 
WOLF WAS BLOWN UP, LIKE A LONG SKYROCKET STICK. HA! HA! 




1. One day, when Uncle Wiggily was hopping around, looking for 
an adveiUure, he reached a cornfield where, all summer, had stood an 
old^Scarccrow. “Hum!” said the bunny to himself, as he saw the old 
stuffed, ragged man. “The farmer has no further use for this Scare¬ 
crow. His corn is cut and the crows have flown south. I’ll take the 
Scarecrow home and play a little trick on Nurse Jane with it. Ha! Ha!” 











2. Uncle Wiggily laughed to himself as he thought of the trick he 
would play on Nurse Jane with the Scarecrow. “I guess I’ll put it away 
and.save it for Hallowe’en and play the trick then,” said the bunny to 
himself. He became tired of hauling the stuffed and ragged man, and 
stood the Scarecrow up near a log, while he sat down on the other side 
of the log. Then the Fuzzy Fox. saw the Scarecrow and wanted it. 



















3. All of a sudden, as Uncle Wiggily was thinking of hopping on 
again, up ran the Fox. “Ho! Ho!” barked the Fox, as he saw the 
Scarecrow, “these old clothes are just what I want for the -winter!” 
Then the Fox started to run away with Uncle Wiggily’s Scarecrow that 
the bunny wanted for Hallowe’en. “Here! Come back*” cried the 
bunny, jumping up on the log. But the Old Fox only ran the faster. 


























4. “Well, if the Fox took one Scarecrow away from me 1 must find 
another,” said Uncle Wiggily, with a twinkle of his pink nose. He 
hopped along a little farther, and in a fence corner he saw a second 
ragged and stuffed man. “He has a tall silk hat on—like I wear'” said- 
the bunny. “Some might take him for me. And what’s this—powder 
and matches! A hunter must have left them here. Now for a trick 1 ” 


























5. “I’ll play a joke on the Fox or Wolf if they try to take this Scare¬ 
crow away from me,” said Uncle Wiggily with a laugh. Then the 
bunny poured some powder from the hunter’s flask inside the second 
Scarecrow. “I’ll put in a Fourth of July fuse, such as firecrackers 
have,” said Uncle Wiggily. “I’ll hide and watch, and when the Fox or 
Wolf runs away with this Scarecrow—Zoopie! What will happen >” 




















6. After Uncle Wiggily had put powder inside the Scarecrow, making 
the stuffed man into a sort of torpedo bomb, the bunny carried the 
image near a big rock. “I’ll lie down around the corner of the rock 
and make believe I’m asleep,” thought the rabbit. “But I’ll have one 
eye open and as soon as any bad animal takes my Scarecrow I’ll strike 
a match, light the powder fuse and then—Whoop! Up they’ll go!” 
















7. From afar the Woozie Wolf had seen Uncle Wiggily’s second 
Scarecrow, but the Wolf didn’t know about the powder. “Oh ho!”^ 
snickered the Wolf, creeping closer to the Scarecrow, “the Fuzzy Fox 
thought he was smart, taking away a Scarecrow to get'the old clothes 
to keep him warm this winter. Well, he isn’t the only one! I’ll carry 
this stuffed man off to my den and take his clothes for myself!” 


























8. All of a sudden, almost before Uncle Wiggily knew what was hap¬ 
pening, the Wolf made a jump and grabbed the Scarecrow. “You’re 
mme!’’ he howled. But the bunny gentleman quickly struck a match 
and lighted the powder fuse. It began to smoke and sizzle. Away ran 
the Wolf with the Scarecrow! “Oh ho!’’ laughed Uncle Wiggily 
“He won’t run so fast in a few minutes! Oh, listen for the noise'” 










9. All of a sudden there was a loud banging noise. “There it £oes r ’ 
cried the bunny gentleman. “There goes the powder!” And the Scare¬ 
crow the Wolf was carrying away was blown up. Uncle Wiggilv was 
far enough off not to be hurt. But that Wolf—“Oh, Skuzzie-zuzzie'” 
he howled as he felt himself coming down like a skyrocket stick, after 
having sailed up, “Oh, zoopie! Lightning must have struck me!”
